Several generations of Cabbage White butterflies have been seen this year. The latest generation will overwinter in their chrysalis to emerge as butterflies next spring —— to terrorize cabbage family farmers.

We are still seeing Monarch caterpillars. If these make it to the butterfly stage they will enter diapause for the long trip to Mexico. It is difficult to understand how this individual’s progeny will arrive in the Britt area 3 or 4 generations later.
